The only access to adult cartoons was Nightflight from midnight to three AM on USA network if you had cable, bootleg hookups at a warehouse dirt mall an hour away, comic conventions or the one indie video rental store that only had Plague Dogs, 100th gen Starblazer episodes and Fritz the Cat cartoons.

What I'd really like is a compilation of video games based on the joke games from the show. Wouldn't you want to play Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge or Larry the Looter?

I remember the Stickball joke. In general the Simpsons, even the newer episodes I've seen, has been surprisingly consistently good in portraying video games in then-contemporary fashion compared to how boomer comedy usually struggles with the very basics of the concept. (though That 90s Show having Sonic proposing to Amy was a laugh for reasons I'm entirely certain went over the writers' heads)

I recrntly rewatched it and I genuinely like season 1. It's definitely a different animal than later seasons and the animation is rougher but Homer is much more relatable as an everyman who's just kind of dumb in an average way and had kids that bug the hell out of him. It just feels more like a cohesive concept of a show about an average family rather than a string of (often very good) jokes. Also it has a ton of jokes I'm not sure what you guys are talking about.

I got a couple bootleg tapes with a bunch of random S2 episodes for christmas one year, maybe in 1999 or 2000? Even as a kid I noticed the massive tonal difference between like the fugu bucket list ep and then contemporary material like homer and ned's vegas bender but I still loved their tone/humour/wholesome vibe. Then a couple years later I got the S1 dvd box set and I thought it sucked and was weird.

The Simpsons genuinely caused outright moral panics even in season 1. For all the 90s is ridiculous in hindsight, it must have been a massive reality check.

Everything caused moral panics in the 90s, especially the early 90s. The panic related to the Simpsons was that it was perceived a children's medium representing family disfunction, alcoholism, etc.

Pretty good posted:"I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you" must have been a world-ender for boomers who think "hell" is an obscenity lmao We can make fun, but it's easy to underestimate the scope of the social changes that happened after Bart Simpson disrespected his elders, the Seinfelds quit masturbating for a week, Kyle called Cartman a dildo, and the seventh seal didn't open. We went from Ray Jay Johnson to It's Always Sunny in the same 30 years as the boom in reactionary evangelical church attendance and the complete dropoff of "normal" church attendance because it was no longer quasi-compulsory. I'm not saying that popular media pushing against boundaries caused social and political polarization in the US over and above, say, the internet, but it's a huge part of the story. (And of course media market fracturing, so that media people can focus on either the people who think it's funny when sociopaths make each other sad or the people who want unchallenging Christian morality plays without bothering to bring in the other. Before you split FX and Hallmark, you have a couple of networks making sure that the Simpsons go to church on Sundays and all that.)

Virtual Springfield would have been a genius idea if it were part of the Fox website in the 90s. As it was felt more like oh no I’ve played for half an hour and run out of things to do and this cost $30.

I never figured out why early Bart merchandise had him wearing a blue shirt compared to his actual drawing being an orange one.

In at least some of the Tracey Ullman shorts, including the official drawings of the family, Bart had a blue shirt. You need a lead time to design and manufacture physical products, especially if it's 1988, so in order to get the stuff on the store shelves they probably had sent some very early drawings to the factories. I assume that somehow the color palette got handed down from these early drawings even as the character designs evolved. IMO the family above just has too much blue in it. Making Bart's shirt red-orange was a good choice. Also, looking at this picture this is the first time I've noticed that Lisa wears sandals. I thought for sure it was another design change like Bart's shirt and Marge's dress but nope, her shoes still look like that today.

I like how you can see that Lisa/Marge and Bart/Homer share the same nose/upper-lip shape except it's gotten droopy with age.
